Hostal Anibal Ibiza

A disaster, beware! The sheets were bloody and the rooms dirty, and there was no refrigerator. You could have a cockroach fall on your head at any moment. Staff came into our room at night. When I asked the next morning why someone had been in there at 3 am, I was told they’d received an alarm notification. Asked what alarm, the staff member said it was because of a special failure. There was no reason for an alarm to go off, as we were just sleeping. I woke up when I heard the card beeping. We weren’t the only ones blocking our door with a chair or desk at night. We could hear heavy furniture being moved in other rooms too. At the bar, each bartender charged a different price. That part, well, seems to be the norm.

We stayed five nights and paid €30 to upgrade our room when we arrived. The place is nice enough for what you pay, and both the rooms and pool were clean. The staff were friendly too, so I can’t really find fault with it. I did see one cockroach, but it was in the lobby, so you can’t really complain.

The room was modern, looked better than the online photos, and was clean. The bed seemed a bit old but was perfectly okay, and the AC worked well. The cleaning lady was friendly, and the reception staff were always nice. The hotel is close to lots of restaurants and bars, and there’s a small supermarket two minutes away. It’s also not far from the center of Sant Antoni. We didn’t try the pool or the hotel restaurant. The pool looked clean, and there were always free sun loungers.

There was no AC, so it was scorching hot at night. The staff were rude, and even tried to put us in a single room when we’d booked our own. We had to hassle them for an hour to get what we’d been promised. Wouldn’t recommend.
